    Graining means the rubber is balling up, and you are basically getting less grip. The right front always takes a bit of heat here.

  2. Team radio

    Lap 9/78

    Lewis Hamilton feeding back some tyre information to his team: "Inside shoulder, right front, some signs of graining a bit."

    A little bit later he adds: "More signs of graining on the right front."

  3. Lap 9/78

    Sergey Sirotkin comes in to serve his 10-second stop-go penalty. As expected he comes back last. All his hard work yesterday, which saw him qualify 13th, has been wiped out already.

  4. Lap 8/78

    As expected, the excitement is coming from Max Verstappen. He dives inside Lance Stroll. Eight laps gone, four cars passed. Verstappen 16th and on the charge. Great move.

  5. Team radio

    Lap 7/78

    Nico Hulkenberg: "Really slow pace, I think I could go like a second faster easily."

  6. Lap 7/78

    A 10-second stop-go penalty for Sergey Sirotkin, whose car was not prepared in time. He is one of only two men to not get any points this season. He is going to have to do something sensational to change that today.

  7. Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live

    Max Verstappen is proving you can overtake in Monaco - two on the first lap and now Marcus Ericsson. He is up into 17th.

  8. Get Involved #bbcf1

    What do you want / expect to see today?

    Kristine Kirby: THAT was the most boring start. Ever. Lovely procession. My new puppy hasn't slept for two days, but now he does. THAT boring.

    Jeremiah Kariuki‏: No much of drama at the start. Hope it doesn't end with this kind of a procession. We need some excitement and adrenaline pumping.

  9. Lap 6/78

    Max Verstappen has a lot of drivers to overtake. He started 20th and is now up to 17th. A long way to go, but Marcus Ericsson is his latest victim.

  10. 'Dark clouds'
